As my trip was about rekindling my love of pinball and music after a pretty tough year, it made sense to build my trip around this show. Not only has Ryan Adam's music been a constant through my adult life, but he is a fellow pinhead to boot. Backed by a ridiculously loaded band featuring the creme de la creme of New Orlean's musicians, Adam's covered the Rolling Stone's Exile on Main St. from cover to cover at a one-off show in a historic New Orlean's theatre. While the show started poorly due to the poor sound quality in the cheap seats, I snuck down to the front of the stage half-way through the show and had an incredible experience.
